I think it's perfectly reasonable to be treated respectfully and with kindness. The young woman wanted to know why she needed to show her ID. The officer could have talked to her and educated her without the Robocop, follow my commands or else, language. It's such bullshite. I get it, cops have a tough job, but so do a lot of other people. That isn't license to be an a-hole.
Exactly.
All the defenders in this thread seem to believe that when an agent of the state stops a citizen, that from the moment it begins, the PRIMARY responsibility for keeping calm, not getting unreasonably upset, de-escalating, calming the other person down is..................the citizen? I mean holy shite what the frick!

The audience of TD is mostly right leaning. Some former military (myself included) or idolize the military mindset of stoicism, patriotism, etc. I love this country. I'd die for it, but I also don't view the general population as "lesser than" or "less deserving" of respect simply because they don't have my point of view.
The way policing has been turned into a paramilitary organization is not good for the country. The military mindset is to kill the enemy. The general population is not the enemy of the police. It is their duty to serve and protect. Not humiliate, hurt, or lord over. I have a feeling that this is a training issue. We need to instruct the police to be humble servants and not jackasses with a badge and a gun.
